Ontario Convention Center

The two-story Ontario Convention Center has a large ballroom, smaller meetings rooms and food facilities that range from snacks to full banquets (the SESCAL awards dinners will be in the center). The center is often used by film makers for movies and commercials.
The center is equipped with the latest in technology, and has more than 225,000 square feet of flexible exhibit, meeting and function space. It provides a full range of technology services, including Wi-Fi, Internet, DS3 and video-conferencing capabilities. The space means that the dealers, club and society booths and exhibits will be in one large area.
The center offers menu selections by its award-winning culinary team, where every event is a one-of-a-kind experience. The facilities handle sit-down banquets, elegant hors d’oeuvres, specialty buffets and hot dogs and sodas.
Custom-made menus feature an eclectic range of international, regional and heart-healthy fare, which is prepared with the freshest ingredients, premium meats and seafood, and produce from local farms and growers. Decadent pastries and baked goods are prepared fresh daily by the center's executive chef.

Parking

The center has 1,336 spaces that may be used for event parking. There are 24 disabled parking spaces throughout the parking lots. Parking for all cars and motorcycles is at the rate of $10, limo/truck and trailer is at $15 and RV parking is $40. (These are the usual rates; special SESCAL rates will be announced when the contract is signed.) Parking rates are per day, per entry (no in/out privilege). Cash and credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, Discover, American Express) are accepted. Because of city regulations and insurance liability, overnight parking in the dock area or any OCC parking lot is prohibited. Attendees planning to stay at the show for more than one day may prefer to park at their hotel and walk to the center.
The center reserves the right to change parking rates at any time. Passenger loading and unloading is permitted only along the convention center’s east driveway. Due to fire code restrictions, parking on loading docks and or ramps is not allowed. Vehicles in violation will be towed at the owners' expense.
